Arizona Diamondbacks chief baseball officer Tony La Russa indicated that he will be responsible for determining whether manager Kirk Gibson and his coaching staff return for the 2015 season. He said the suggestion that the decision would be left up to the team's next general manager is "not correct."

The Arizona Diamondbacks are working to learn SP Bronson Arroyo and are noncommittal about him calling his own pitches. "We're trying to learn him, he's going to learn us," manager Kirk Gibson said. "Whatever is most productive, that's what we'll do."
